The nodal officer who spoke to Commissioner of Technical Education A Sridevasena asked her to ensure that colleges do not stop students from appearing for exams or holding back their results due to fee reimbursement arrears, the students said.

JNTU-Hyderabad Protection Force leader Rahul Naik demanded the university and its affiliated colleges not to harass students citing fee reimbursement and pending mess bills.

As college authorities were holding back hall tickets due to non-release of fee reimbursement arrears by the government, students were forced to shell out from their pockets, creating financial burden on their parents, he added.
